The International Experimental Archaeology Conference goes back to 2006. The eleventh conference of these series was in 2019 in Italy, with almost 200 delegates from over 25 countries. The conference is a low-budget, low-fees meeting, open to all people interested in experimental archaeology, from academia and from a crafts background, museum people and re-enactors. EAC aims to be open access, presenting the latest developments in experimental archaeology from around the world.

Delphi House of Questions was an EU Culture 2000 project by three EXARC members. Under this umbrella, other EXARC members as well collected and answered the most frequently asked questions by visitors to archaeological open-air museums. The largest part of this collection of questions you can find here – as many of them still carry importance. In most cases we offer the questions both in the original language and in English.
